Ndere Cultural Centre

Ndere Cultural Centre

Endere means flute, a musical instrument used universally by all world cultures. It was founded in 1986 and has over time exceeded the expectations of the visitors to move across the borders of Uganda to part of the east and central African region performing dances of the indigenous people giving it monopoly of a whole 3 hours of a cultural evening while in Kampala-Uganda.

The story becomes meaningful when you realize that the proceeds have been reverted to education of the young dancers that have gone back to school and others have graduated overtime.

What makes it special is the more than 40 cultural performances almost summarizing all the culture in Uganda, Rwanda and Burundi not forgetting the Democratic republic of Congo.

The open area arena sitting gives you the cool breeze of an evening with the mouthwatering barbeque and buffet dinner as you watch young talented energetic dancers leaving you at the edge of your seat maybe to join them.

Hold on you can join them at the end of the show to dance making it memorable experience in Kampala.
